Excerpt from Lady Merton, Vol. 2: A Tale of the Eternal City Uring these Christmas holidays, in considera tion of his passionate love of music, Mary, after obtaining Sir Henry's approval, took Freddy with them to the opera, and she was more interested in watching the child than in observing what was going forward on the stage. He sat enraptured, his eyes fixed on the scene, absorbed, intense, motionless. It seemed almost as if his soul were ravished from his body, so still was this. Only the eyes told that his spirit was yet inside its habitation, pressing close behind them, and looking out with such craving, consuming, insatiable desire. For him what -he saw on the stage was to all intents and purposes real a new, wonderfully beautiful world, into which he had just been born, whose heavenly sounds and colours and forms and rhythm, all worked together harmoniously to intensify the supernatural life - life? Oh, yes, that was the actual life. But the next morning, when she went to Freddy's room to see how he was, Lady Merton bitterly regretted having given the child so much pleasure.

The novels in this collection present a vivid picture of late-Regency society clinging to modes of behaviour which soon became obsolete and mark an important point of transition to Victorian cultural values.
The second volume of Thomas Merton's "gusty, passionate journals" (Thomas Moore) chronicles Merton's advancements to priesthood and emergence as a bestselling author with the surprise success of his autobiography, The Seven Storey Mountain. Spanning an eleven-year period, Entering the Silence reflects Merton's struggle to balance his vocation to solitude with the budding literary career that would soon established him as one of the most important spiritual writers of our century.
Many products of medieval and renaissance culture – literature, music, political ideology, social and governmental structures, the fine arts, forms of devotional piety, and also the social, political and literary self-representation of rulers – found their best expression in the context of the courts of greater and lesser princes. This second volume on princes and princely culture between 1450 and 1650 – the first was published in 2003 as volume 118/1 in this series – contains twelve essays. These are focused on England under Edward IV, Henry VII and Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, and under James I and Charles I. The late fifteenth-century imperial court is treated in a piece on Matthias I Corvinus. The courts of Italy are represented by chapters on those of the Po Valley, the Medici of Florence, the Papal courts of Pius II and Julius II, and of Naples. Spanish court culture is discussed in contributions on Charles V, Philip II, and on Philip IV.
